024 Unfathomable
"Someone has broken into it again, something has been wrong recently, and from time to time outsiders sneak into the palace, which is not a good thing."
Su Chen frowned.
I chose to stay in the palace because it was heavily guarded, and as long as I tried not to get involved in power struggles, it was relatively stable.
But in the last year or two, occasionally some people of unknown origin have begun to sneak into the palace secretly.
This obviously does not bode well.
It stands to reason that the imperial city is heavily guarded, and it is by no means something that ordinary cats and dogs can mix in, and in addition, the royal family has an ancestor of the innate realm in charge, and ordinary masters will never dare to run to find death.
But in the past two years, there have been rumors in the palace that the ancestor of the royal family has not much longevity, and he is in retreat almost all the time, and he no longer asks about the world.
Su Chen originally thought it was a rumor, but now it seems that it is probably not groundless.
Of course.
It may also be because Aoi Yuan is remote, there are few guards around, and it is adjacent to the edge of the palace wall, so it is relatively easy to sneak in.
In important places like the Qiankun Palace, there should be no thief who dares to go to death.
"Let me see who is here this time......
While thinking, Su Chen retracted his breath, his body melted into the dark shadows, and approached in the direction of the trigger.
Soon.
He saw a dark shadow flying down the courtyard wall.
The man was slender and not tall, and his body was shrouded in black night clothes, and his age and gender were not visible.
He is agile and extremely fast.
Between the footsteps, there is a faint wind, and it is obvious that he has a good martial arts foundation.
However, at this time, there was faint blood dripping from the arm.
Apparently he was injured by the organ when he passed through the outermost part, but fortunately, the wound was not serious, just a flesh wound.
"Damn, how can there be so many traps in this place?"
The man in black flew and fell, narrowly avoiding a few thistles and traps under his feet, and couldn't help but feel irritated.
Since he entered, in just a dozen paces, he had encountered at least seven different traps.
Although he cautiously avoided most of it, he was accidentally injured.
This Kwai Yuan didn't seem to have any guarding power, but the defensive mechanism secretly arranged was not inferior to other palace important places, and for a while, he even thought that he had broken into the heavily guarded inner vault.
"It seems that this place is not trivial, no wonder the sect members sent before have not been heard from, I have to be careful."
The dark shadow thought to himself, and then walked cautiously in the direction of the library.
But at this time.
The sunflowers around them suddenly moved, their branches and leaves spreading, and their petals trembled, as if they were living creatures.
The man in black was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped back, only to see hideous faces emerging from the huge stamens, like ghosts!
"What is this?"
The man in black exclaimed, seeing those sunflowers surrounding him, he couldn't care about hiding his whereabouts, so he quickly pulled out a soft sword from his waist, his body leaped up, and the sword light slashed, only to see the petals flying, but those sunflower ghost faces were like ghosts, like shadows......
Sunflowers, of course, will not move.
In fact, everything the man in black saw at this time was just an illusion.
He had already been poisoned by an arrow when he was wounded for the first time.
This poison is called white medicine.
It is a kind of medicine in the medical scriptures, which is not too toxic in itself, and has a certain paralyzing effect, and is originally used as a raw material for hemp boiling.
But Su Chen unexpectedly discovered that this thing combined with the pollen of sunflowers can make people hallucinate, and it is colorless and tasteless, and it is difficult to detect afterwards.
He smeared this white medicine on the outermost arrows, and if it broke a little skin, it would poison the enemy silently, and then through the sunflower forest around the courtyard, he would be trapped in hallucinations.
Of course.
This method is only effective for people below the Refining Realm.
Once the realm of refining the marrow is reached, the qi and blood are full, and the internal force is strong, this toxin can be quickly eliminated from the body.
Obviously, the man in black in front of him did not have the strength of the Essence Refining Realm.
At this time, she actually didn't get out of the sunflower bush at all, but just kept spinning in place, fighting wits and courage with those motionless sunflowers.
"Listening to the voice, it seems to be a woman. The strength is average, about the early stage of bone forging, but the light skill is very exquisite, if it weren't for this light skill, she shouldn't be able to get here. ”
Su Chen silently watched all this from a distance.
There is no intention of making a direct move.
Now he has won the essence of Gou Dao, if it is not necessary, he will never show up in person, first, he does not want to expose his strength casually, and secondly, he is worried that the other party will hurt himself if he has any desperate explosive means.
It wasn't until the man in black slowed down significantly and seemed to have a lot of physical exertion.
Su Chen took out something that looked like a whistle from his arms.
This is a gadget he imitated from the organ book, the principle is similar to a microphone, through the "horn" arranged in the courtyard, to disperse the sound, so that people can not distinguish the direction, so as to achieve the effect of confusing the enemy.
"Where did the junior come from, dare to disturb the Qing cultivation of this seat?"
The deep voice, driven by the true qi, was transmitted through the whistle and spread in all directions.
In fact, in order not to alarm the patrol guards who passed by at any time outside, Su Chen's voice was not loud.
But to the ears of the man in black, it was like the sound of clouds and thunder.
At this time, she was still in the hallucination caused by the white medicine, and any sound she heard would be affected by the hallucination, so her heart was shocked.
I just felt that it was a little dark, and I couldn't tell where the voice came from.
"What a strong internal force!"
The people in black were shocked.
After this fight, she probably understood that these moving sunflower ghosts were not real objects, but some kind of illusion.
But she didn't know that it was caused by poisoning, but she was affected by the momentum of the strong man, so she was in a state of confusion.
It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the top martial arts powerhouse who has refined the marrow can affect people's minds with momentum, which is the so-called spirit and soul-snatching, which is the truth.
At this time, I heard the deep and majestic voice, and I concluded that there must be an unfathomable strong man sitting in this place.
He rashly broke into Kwai Yuan, and he had already been discovered and locked by this strong man.
Thinking of this, the man in black couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.
"Isn't it rumored that the ancestor of the royal family has not much longevity, and he has already retreated and stopped asking about the world? How come there is such an old monster in this Kwai Garden......"
The man in black already had some regret in his heart.
But at this time, there is no point in saying this, and the current plan is to try to save your own life.
Come to think of it.
The man in black took a deep breath, bowed down, and saluted into the darkness: "Junior Xingqiu, I came here just to find the holy relics of this sect, I don't know that the seniors are cultivating here, and they have no intention of disturbing and offending, and I ask the seniors to forgive me......."
